Alright so I applied to 14 schools and I have been on one interview and have three more lined up. Obviously it is not feasible for me to go on all interviews so I am trying to figure out how to decide which to decline. I got into one school and liked it but I am not sure if its definetly for me. I am still waiting to hear from from my IS school but they do not notify applicants about interviews until after the next three interviews I have.

Cost is a huge issue for me, I want to go to the cheapest option. The school I got into is middle of the road in terms of cost and I have one interview in a few weeks that is cheaper so I am going to that. However, the other two are about the same cost and I was thinking of declining one of them but I am not sure if I should and which one to decline.

Any advice would be appreciated!
 
Although tuition price is important, if two schools have the same cost then I think you owe it to yourself to compare them in other ways...so maybe you should go on interviews until you make a decision about the best place for you. You can only choose one vet school where you will go for 4 years, so it's an important decision.
